Am I wrong, or did it look like Adama is going to be killed in the next ep? I'm pretty sure he survived the grenade, but why else would Roslin be all attacky? Either he's dead, or she thinks he's dead

It does look like he's going to be killed, but I don't believe it. I could tell you more about the promo, but maybe you don't want to know. It's kind of spoilery. But if you're curious, listen again to what Zarek is saying over the wireless in the promo. It'll explain why Roslin goes all "Exorcist" on them.
It's weird. I must have phrased something wrong in my post. You're one of three people who seem to think I was saying that Roslin is a fraud. I don't think so. That's what I was trying to say in my post, that the show is saying that, but I disagree. I don't think her or Baltar were frauds. I think they did at many points genuinely believe in some kind of unseen power, some kind of God.
Oof. I would have a problem too if they extinguish the Cylons and all the humans are dead. That would really be dark.
I thought that was what you might have been saying about Roslin and Baltar, but I wasn't sure, so I tried to phrase my thoughts to reflect what I think. I still don't trust Baltar further than I could throw him, which isn't far.
I was really happy, as I said, to see Roslin pulling herself up by her bootstraps and getting herself going. I knew from that opening scene with her and Adama, where she kept trying not to care or get involved, but she had to in spite of herself. I was very gratified to see that she'd come through that little journey into hell with a lot more strength.
On the subject of Starbuck, by the way, I feel the same as you, she's really just gone to pieces, although it was good to see the Apollo and Starbuck show or at least a facsimile of it back in play. I don't think anyone is on their best game right now, but she's really losing it.
I'll wait for the next ep to see what happens, but I'm hoping you're right about Adama.
I'm pretty sure the "grenade" was actually either a flash-bang or tear gas. Not because I'm spoiled, but because of sheer logic. Only a very stupid Marine would start throwing around live grenades when they're at the part of a spaceship that's very close to the hull. You know, those layers of metal which are the only thing protecting all the spaceship's inhabitants from the vacuum of space. If you're near an airlock, you're way too near the outside for throwing around explosives.
